Auditor is going to run 0-0 on the pc. Auditor reads the commands one at a time to the pc and asks the pc “What does this command mean to you?” From the pc’s answer the auditor realizes that the pc has a confusion on the words “willing” and “talk”. He tells the pc to look them up in a dictionary. The pc now understands “talk”, but still seems slightly puzzled about “willing”. Now the auditor could tell the pc to use the word “willing” in a few sentences. When the pc understands it, the auditor again gets the pc to tell him what the whole command means to him. | Auditor is going to run 0-0 on the pc.
